Albatross - 1975 - Rockin' The Sky

Albatross 1975 Rockin' The Sky

Undoubtedly one of my personal fave private press albums from the '70s. This is hard southern rock with extremely solid guitars. The vocals and keyboards are a slight weak point, but more due to the production values than the talent herein. It's confident, driving, and often metallic in the way that Blackfoot could be. A consistent album that I would say is an absolute must for those looking into the far reaches of southern rock obscurities, and the heavier side of SR in general. This band may originally have been based in Salem, Virginia? Any information is appreciated
